Use binder clips to secure cords
The first installment in this week's "Wish I'd Thought of That" series:
You know how the cords that charge your stuff tend to slip down into the nether regions behind your desk? Here's an easy solution from David Bakker for organizing cables. I can't read the original post, but a picture's worth a thousand words. Via Unplggd.

Smart.
Elegant simplicity. The best kind! I emailed the photo to myself and all my friends!
O.M.G!! What a fantastically simple solution!
wow - duh! :) such a great idea.
A cord fell behind my desk just last night...
That's an amazing tip. Try "Babelfish.com" for translation in the future. I actually just translated this but it is so simple it's not even worth pasting here. Thanks for the tip!
OMG! So brilliant, thanks for sharing!
Great idea! And so easy!

How often do you that you have a (USB) cable disappears behind the desk? And you need at the knees to the cable back above table, no office work is no fun. A very easy and inexpensive solution is a pair of binder clips (to be known as banker's clips or foldback clips called). Squeeze the legs together to keep an eye on the eye from the clip so that you can easily get to the cable going to do. Make eye back onto the binder clip. Clip the binder clip to the edge of your desk (eg behind your monitor) and go!

Binder clips are also great if your office desk has holes in the surface so you can thread through cords. The holes in my desk were too big and I had to keep searching for my iphone charger on the phone until I threaded it through and slapped a binder clip on it. Now it doesn't slip through to the floor anymore.
Wow. It's always the simply genius things that amaze me.
Figuring out Relativity? Psshh, don't care.
Figuring out to keep cords up with binder clips. Amazing.
Wow! Great idea!!!
Wow, what a good idea...off to find binder clips.

i love this idea!!! i really need to get them out of my way!
That's so smart. I can read it and must say: Google translate did a good job! Thanks for sharing! :D
ok, how smart is this??? :)
good idea!!!
Push them back a bit and you can thread cables through the black part and the desk. These things are a god send for cable haters like myself.
There is all kinds of different sizes and I keep a bunch of each handy for cable ties also.
You can also use this for bag clips.. For potatoe chips ect...
THIS IS A TERRIBLE IDEA! Has anyone actually tried this? IT DOESN"T WORK! The cables keep falling through and if you need to move the cable it's a pain. It is NOT brilliant!
Wow...superb
GREEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAT idea :)
I put this into practice immediately! Both our chargers will fit through 1 clip; in fact, my charger is a little skinny, so it needs to share or it can still fall through.
,,,brilliant idea!
Great idea!! Thank you for sharing!! Sometimes the easiest ideas are the best!!
